In step number twenty-seven of Disney’s thirty-four step plan to be associated with every form of entertainment ever, Marvel has announced they will develop at least four original series for Netflix, with an initial focus on Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage, followed by a The Defenders miniseries.

The four, thirteen-episode series will start streaming in 2015 and will culminate with “The Defenders” miniseries event about a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters. The deal is Marvel’s most ambitious foray into live-action storytelling. (Via)

If you check your birth certificate, you’ll see that Disney actually owns you, too. Anyway, two things: 1) It’s peculiar that Jessica Jones will get a show before DC’s Wonder Woman, and 2) please, please, please hire Casey Affleck to play Daredevil. Sick one of your hired goons on him, Disney. After all, you own him/all of us.

Hercules took over the Hulk’s book for a while a few years ago and I thought The Incredible Herc was fantastic. I haven’t read the current Hercules stuff, but from what I heard it sounded like they were trying to revamp him.

Correct. And it was hilarious because they all hated each other. Hulk is a big idiot wrecking machine, Namor is a huge asshole, Dr. Strange is the mystical hippie dude, and Silver Surfer is the aloof alien. Perfect sitcom.

I’ve been saying for a long time that a Daredevil noir styled tv series on FX or HBO would be the fucking balls! Take from Frank Miller and Brian Michael Bendis’ runs, don’t ruin it like Mark Steven Johnson did, and you’ll have a certifiable hit.

Does Luke Cage have to be black? Like can’t we just do a Heimdall and a SHIELD Leader Samuel L Jackson Dude and just change the skin colour so that Nicolas Cage can play him seeing as Nicolas Cage named himself after him an’ all.

Oh, OK. (I don’t know superheroes, all I know is that Samuel L Jackson is David Hasselhoff. Why the fuck would Nicolas Cage choose Cage for if he can’t ever play him in a movie? Have Lenny Henry play Luke Cage and Nicolas Cage play a white person. (Motherfucker has no antagonists, how the hell is he going to have his own series. (The Wikipedia article talks about eveyrthing except for who his villains are.))

Super excited for this, would love to see cameos of characters such as the Punisher, Moon Knight, and Ghost Rider, but either way I will watch all four, then cry with happiness when The Defender mini-series drops.

Shouldn’t engage troll, but…no character has Batman’s rogues. So no other character’s deserve movies or TV? Maybe writing and acting are more important?

And I’m not sure if you’ve read a Daredevil comic, but no matter where Kingpin started, he and Matt Murdock are completely intertwined. Their decades-long chess match trumps anything Kingpin has ever done in Spider-Man’s world, and it’s not close.

Daredevil will work way better on TV than as a movie. Half the reason the movie didn’t work was because they tried to cram three villains(ish) and a million billion storylines into a pretty short runtime.

Wonder Woman sucks as a 21st century character. She left Paradise Island in the 40’s so Steve Trevor could tickle her lady parts and for no other reason. All of the hijinks she got into were happenstance. When DC redid everything, they turned her into an ambassador whose job was to tell men they were doing everything wrong.

So there are three options:
1. Piss off feminists
2. Give Janeane Garafalo super powers
3. Piss off fanboys for not sticking to the story.

That’s all before finding an athletic charismatic white actress who isn’t already a movie star. Good luck with that. Seriously, who’s going to watch the Gina Carano show?
